Title: Evidence for eight great earthquake-subsidence events detected
with ground-penetrating radar, Willapa barrier, Washington.
Author: Meyers Richard A.; Smith Derald G.; Jol Harry M.; Peterson
Curt D.
Citation: "Geology," 24(2):99-102, February 1996.
Year: 96
Abstract: At present, three terrestrial means of identifying and
dating past earthquakes are available: (1) paleosols and buried trees
in growth position, (2) sand intrusions, and (3) tsunami-deposited sand.
A new approach to detect Holocene subduction-zone earthquakes combines
the results from ground-penetrating radar (GPR), Vibracores, and accelerator
mass spectrometry (AMS) dates from a barrier spit located west of Willapa
Bay, southwest Washington.

Title: Hawai'i boater's hurricane safety manual: tsunami section
included.
Author: Hawaii Sea Grant
Year: 98
Program#: UNIHI-SG-CR-97-03
# Pages: 32
Abstract: Hurricanes are the most severe of all tropical storms
and have great potential for widespread destruction in Hawaii. This manual
provides a summary of the actions boaters and other members of Hawai'i's
marine community may want to take before, during, and after a severe storm,
especially a hurricane. It is intended to assist in preparing for and
mitigating the effects of hurricanes, other severe storms, and tsunami.
It includes information on these events and their dangers, provides guidelines
to develop a personal preparedness plan, and lists emergency assistance
information (that is, phone numbers, radio frequencies, and evacuation
shelter locations).
